About this property

The Blue Canoe | Cozy Lakefront Getaway in Blue Ridge | Rustic and Elegant

Welcome to The Blue Canoe! This upscale Lake Blue Ridge cottage is a lake or mountain connoisseur’s dream! Whether you want to soak up the lakefront view from every room, sunbathe on the second level of the dock or enjoy a glass of wine by the fire-pit, this unique property has something for the whole family.

Surrounded by United States Forestry Service, our cottage is perfectly situated off Aska Road, near hiking and biking trails and within a short drive to the shopping and restaurants of downtown Blue Ridge.

Regardless of the adventure you’re seeking, you’ll have a great appreciation for The Blue Canoe – located only feet from Lake Blue Ridge with 331 feet of shoreline, properties like this can no longer be replicated.

The property was tastefully updated mid-2022 to include a professional interior designer’s touch (rivals Highland’s and Cashier’s luxury), new appliances, three TVs and a fabulous blend of updated, yet comfortable furnishings. If you need to work lakeside, a tasteful office space is situated on the bottom level with wireless/ethernet connections and quality internet.

As an added feature, we also have a pontoon available for rent, giving you the opportunity to explore the lake...and the best part, the boat will be at the dock upon your arrival! Already have a boat? Feel free to bring your own as well!

Perfect Spring Break getaway

Loved this lake cabin. Owners did a great job with the upscale cozy cabin decor. Cabin had everything we needed for a short stay. Kids loved fishing & the kayaks. I loved relaxing on the upper dock reading and watching Bald Eagles.

Great Stay!

Such a cute cabin and perfect for our girls trip. The cabin was adorable and the owners were great at communicating and very accommodating. The road to the cabin was a little intimidating (which I think is typical for cabin rentals) but completely worth it once we arrived and we have a wonderful time!

It was a lovely family vacation and it being at the end of the road in the forest was perfect. Good walking roads and quiet on the lake. Owners easy to communicate with - we will definitely return.

Great getaway on a beautiful property

We stayed here as a family of five with three kids under seven and had a blast. The house has plenty of living space and separate quarters for parents and adults. They did not cheap out on bedding either, both queen beds were incredibly comfortable. The house location on the lake is perfect, not too much boat traffic and deep water right off the dock for endless entertainment for the kids. Owners were a 10/10 with responsiveness and communication, we plan to come back next summer!

Lake Blue Ridge

This is a great, well appointed, rustic (in a good way), modern renovated cabin with terrific views. It is located on a private part of the lake with a fantastic boat dock. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to enjoy the lake and Blue ridge area.

Peaceful and perfect!

Great location for us! We caught fish each day (bass, catfish and some sunnies) all while enjoying the peace and quiet of the area. The cabin was nice, had all amenities as listed and worked great for our needs. The long windy road was an experience but we got the hang of it, an suv or awd type vehicle is a good idea. We really appreciated the local hiking spots and waterfalls where could enjoy the beautiful outdoors with our dogs! The owner provided all the needed details and we had no issues so didnt need to bother them. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return in the near future! Highly recommend!

Family vacation on Blue Ridge

The trip was amazing. The property was beautiful, and we loved the dock. We could easily rent the boat at the dock, and this allowed us a beautiful day on the lake. The house was so clean, and we had access to the grill, too. If we could rent it for the week, we would.

I would say the owners of the cabin treat you like a guest in their home. The items provided from towels to pots n pans are first class. It was a perfect of a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of life and relax. Hoping we will be able to come stay there again.

Sweetness in the woods

We loved driving out to this cabin because even though we were only 15 mins from civilization, we felt like we were alone in the woods. Had a wonderful time exploring the lake and reading by the fire.

Excellent view and surroundings

Cozy lake house. Plenty of space for our family. The drive up may be a bit intimidating for those used to flat lands like us Floridians, but breathtaking all the same. The lake is just beautiful. Definitely recommend the pontoon ride . Close to town and restaurants. Definitely a great escape from the craziness.

About the host

Hosted by Britton Quintrell

Host profile image
The Blue Canoe is owned by The Quintrell Family (Weston and Chandler / Jim and Dani / Britton and Cassidy) which has been part of the Blue Ridge area for well over 100 years. We are excited to share our special property with you!

Why they chose this property

We had been looking for an investment property on Lake Blue Ridge for quite some time when we found this property. After looking at a few others, we knew this was the one. The Blue Canoe is surrounded by USFS land and perfectly placed close to the water in a deep section of Lake Blue Ridge. During the summer, the water under the dock is approximately 56 feet in depth. Come join us!

What makes this property unique

When looking for property on Lake Blue Ridge Property, we were looking for classic Blue Ridge charm, an incredible lot and a place to truly get away from it all. Many of the properties we perused were new and beautiful, but they were packed in Lake Blue Ridge coves and lacked the charm of a rustic cabin. This cabin is nestled between over 3000 ft of forestry service land in a wonderful subdivision called "Fish Hook Point". The current structure has been on the lake since the 1970s (within feet of the shoreline!) and has been tastefully updated. When we first purchased the property, it was a bit of a conundrum - the men in the family loved the classic, rustic feel of the cabin, and the ladies wanted to freshen up the space to have more of an updated and upscale, yet comfortable, look and feel. We brought in an interior decorator to fit the needs of all family members, and they did an incredible job of keeping the historic feel of the cabin while also updating appliances, furnishings, draperies and the like. We're proud of our little slice of heaven and look forward to sharing it with you and your friends and family.
